Lily adjusted her dress for the umpteenth time that night, feeling very weird outside of her glasses and jeans. But she'd been told that come their date, Xerx was going to take her some place nice, so she'd dressed up for him. A nice little red dress, and she'd actually worn her hair down for once. Even put on a little makeup. She didn't look like a nerd for once!
Grinning sheepishly at nothing in particular, she took a deep breath and rang the doorbell to the Kuugun estate. It was huge. She'd never seen a place so big, and while she was intimidated a bit, she refused to show it. Besides, she didn't think they'd be there all that long.
But she would like to check up on Rui. Though he was rude, she should have been used to that. It just seemed to be a part of him to antagonize everyone. He'd been the same as Air, and Earth had been able to handle it just fine. Lily just needed to get over it and grow some backbone.

"What do you mean she's coming here?" Rui demanded, pounding the bed with his fists.
Xerxes was having too much fun with this to tell the truth, so he simply said, "She said something about long lost love.." oh, he was an evil bastard.
"Long lost..well that's obviously me, but love? Really? We only had a two minute reunion, isn't she pushing it a little?" he said this mainly for Xerxes' benefit. Inside, he was doing a little happy dance. Finally, they were going to live happily ever after, damn it! Well, this was partially Air speaking, but Rui didn't feel the need to differentiate.
A red dressed figure appeared at the door, "What are you doing here?" he asked, /as if I don't know,/ he thought cockily.

Lily inwardly cringed, afraid that she looked silly or something girlishly stupid like that, but outwardly she held her chin a bit higher and made no sign that she felt like she didn't belong in such a fancy place. She was also trying to hide the fact that she was inwardly rejoicing the fact that Rui was back to a healthy state. She'd been worried all week about him, wondering how he was doing, but she didn't think he'd appreciate the sentiment. She'd only told Xerx that she was worried, and even then she'd try to play it down.
"I don't believe that concerns you," she said softly. She didn't say it to be rude, just merely trying to keep things from being blown out of proportion. She turned to Xerx and grinned. "Hi. How's the bed-ridden sourpuss?" [/size][/color]

"No, no, it is his concern, darling because..." here, Xerx stopped for effect, "I'M TAKING HER ON A DATE! IN YOUR FACE!" Xerx even went so far as to stab a finger at a glowering Rui.
His master just sat there, arms over his chest, a glint in his angry eyes, as if he knew something that Rui didn't. Well, it would be fine. He was just good enough to get away with this.

Lily stifled a giggle behind her hand, finding the amusement in both of their antics. Xerxes was such a doll. She adored him.
"I still don't get it, but okay," Lily said agreeing. She bounced over and with courage that surprised her she leaned up and kissed Xerx on the cheek. "You said it was somewhere, er, nice. I hope I'm not overdressed, or under dressed. I don't have many dresses. Heh."
She tugged unsurely at the hem of her dress. It was a bit shorter than she was used to. Okay, a lot shorter. She thought she looked nice, but old habits died hard. She remembered doing the same thing in her past life too, as if always trying to hide herself or some lame thing like that. [/size][/color]

Rui gave a resounding, "It's too damn short," at the same time that Xerxes gave an enthusiastic, "It's perfect." The two glared at eachother for a moment before Xerxes turned back to Lily and Rui glared at his blanket.
"Well, shall we head out then?" Xerxes asked, angling himself and Lily toward the door. The goal was to get away before Rui collared him. He had a nice little mini cooper convertable waiting outside for them. It was pretty. It was blue.

Lily glanced back worriedly at Rui, before following along beside Xerxes. She didn't trust this, but she adored Xerx, and she just wasn't capable of fighting that.
She turned back again for a second, and waved slowly, her eyes going wide like a puppy's. "Bye," she said shortly before asking Xerx, "Soooo, where exactly are we going?"

"Well see, if I told you, I'd have to kill you." Xerxes joked, leading her out to the car, and holding open her door.
Hopefully they could get on the road before the windy one decided to ruin their fun.
Rui pouted in bed for a while longer before deciding to just get up and follow them like he knew he would anyway. By now he was fully recovered and could take a different form...

Lily watched the scenery as they drove, dessert passing them by and giving way to trees and actual plant life that wasn't pokey. The drive was a long one, and Lily found herself half dozing before the car finally pulled up to it's destination.
Stretching out in a yawn, she looked around with bleary eyes. "Oh, my, god!" she suddenly exclaimed happily. "You took me to the beach?! Xerx!"
And then she unbuckled her seat belt and flung herself at Xerxes, hugging him fiercely. She hadn't been to the beach since she was a little girl, and she loved it so much. "My only problem is I have nothing proper to be wearing for a beach adventure."

Xerxes grinned hugely as she attacked him with hugs.
"Haven't you ever heard of skinny dipping?" he asked evilly, qwirking an eyebrow suggestively.
Oh, this was entirely enjoyable. Yes, yes it was.

Lily's eyes widened momentarily, before she scooted back and swatted him on the head. "No," she said, "I'm not too fond of walking around naked around people. Swimsuit would be better, ok? Kay!"

Xerxes sighed, looking around to give himself time to think of a contingency plan. Around them were a couple holding hands, an old guy with a dog and a suspiciously curious Asian boy. Xerxes looked at him with narrowed eyes and the little demon child glared back. Odd. Very odd.
"How about this then?" he asked, turning back to Lily, offering a small string bikini as her option.

Lily groaned inwardly but took the offered swimsuit anyway. If that was her only choice, she'd rather have that then prance around naked and get arrested. "I'll be back," she said shortly, before giving him another swat on the head, and running for the changing rooms.
Quite a few minutes later she was back, and wanting very much to hide herself back in the car, but stubbornness won out and she managed to stay outside of the car, waiting for Xerx.

"Well, I can't say as I don't appreciate the view." Xerxes said happily, getting over the second swat to the head quickly, "Maybe I'll change too.." Xerxes got out of the car, and stripped down to just some nice grey swim trunks.
"Now, shall we go-"
"WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?!" a voice yelled, "LILY! GET BACK IN THERE AND PUT ON SOMETHING MORE RESPECTABLE! THERE ARE PEOPLE HERE!"
It was the old man. He should have known. Asian kid was too obvious. Yeah, that was Rui alright, screaming like a maniac as his little Pomeranian - probably borrowed - barked away. He knew that the old man was Rui, but he realized that Lily probably didn't..

Lily looked over at the old man with a horrified grimace. "How does he know my NAME?" she gasped to Xerxes.
Of course she didn't realize it was Rui. She thought it was some crazy old geezer. She backed up a few steps, and then a few more. "Ok, here's what I'm going to do: I'm going to back away very quickly, and you can fend for yourself. Ok? Bye!"
And then she darted off, hopping off the boardwalk and into the sand, and then ran around a group of fraternity boys playing volleyboll who wolf-whistled at her, and then dove into the ocean. Ha ha ha! Old man couldn't catch her there!
